Part Three: Curve Recording Table – Identifying Fat-Type and Edema-Type Obesity

**Part Three: Curve Recording Table**

Is your obesity caused by fat, muscle, or water retention?

Measuring your most sensitive areas daily is very important during the weight loss process.

This is not often mentioned in general weight loss books.

However, if you do it thoroughly and also use a food flow chart to monitor your own intake...

Based on my assessment, you can determine that your obesity is due to high fat density.

Is the high level caused by water retention or protein buildup?

**Step 1: Preparation**

1. Prepare a measuring tape or a flexible measuring tape.

2. It is best to measure at the same time every day.

3. It is better to use "centimeters" as the unit.

4. Use the center point of obesity as the standard; for example, for waist circumference, use the navel as the center; for chest circumference...

The nipple is the center point; for the buttocks, the most prominent part is the center point. If you don't mind the extra work...

It's best to set a fixed value, such as setting the thigh as the standard at 30 centimeters above the knee.

**Step 2: Self-assessment using a dietary flow chart**

Change your diet and exercise routine every day, and observe the changes in the areas of fat accumulation.

High water intake + low sweating after exercise + low urination ==> poor metabolism leading to edema and weight gain, commonly seen in lower body obesity.

High water intake + frequent consumption of starchy and fatty foods + lack of exercise ==> stubborn weight loss areas, requiring alternative solutions.

Of course, once you know your problems, you can address them accordingly.

Perhaps by increasing exercise, or by reducing the intake of starch or fat, one can achieve twice the result with half the effort.

**Step 3: Solutions for Localized Obesity**

Target specific areas of obesity for targeted improvement. For example, exercises can be performed on the abdomen and waist.

You can do sit-ups or hula hooping, and for your legs you can do leg raises.

TIP 1: Localized obesity can be treated with "salt therapy".

Ingredients: coarse salt, olive oil (or baby oil), plastic wrap, large towel.

step:

1. Put 20 grams of coarse salt into 2000 ml of boiling water and boil for 30 minutes.

2. First, massage the targeted areas with olive oil for 15 minutes.

3. Dampen a large towel with salt water (around 40 degrees Celsius), then wrap the towel in a plastic bag.

Wrap the towel around the body three times, then wrap it with plastic wrap to maintain the temperature.

4. Remove the towel after 30 minutes, and then massage the area for another 30 minutes.

5. After taking a hot shower, drink 100 ml of plain water.

TIP 2: To eliminate excess fat in the waist, hips, and thighs, try doing more "leg-lengthening exercises."

1. Stand with your legs apart and bend over, touch the ground with your hands, arch your body, and rise up on your toes as high as possible.

Stand on your toes, hold for 30 seconds, then lower your heels. Repeat this 15 times.

2. In the same position as above, without tiptoeing, bend your right knee and raise it upwards until your knee touches your chest.

Then put it down, repeat this 5 times, then switch to the left foot.

3. In the same posture, jump up and quickly bring your feet together and then separate them. Repeat this 20 times.

4. The above three exercises can be done alternately according to your physical condition.

TIP 3: Strengthen your chest muscles

Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, extend both arms forward and bend over as far as you can, trying to touch the ground with your hands. Count to 3.

Then slowly stand up, raising your hands as high as possible while leaning your body backward as far as possible; you can feel...

You'll feel a stretching sensation in your chest and lower back muscles. Count to 3, then return your body to the starting position with your arms raised.

Stand upright, then bend over and lean back repeatedly 5 times.

TIP 4: Remove neck fat

Sit upright in a chair, relax your whole body, gently close your eyes, and tilt your head to the right as far as possible.

Move your head to your right shoulder, then draw a semicircle forward and to the left, keeping it as close to your left shoulder as possible when moving to the left, and continue moving your head forward.

Then, slowly return to the original position. Rotate your head 360 degrees, repeating 5 times.

Then switch sides and repeat 5 times from left to right.
